Some traditions are truly worth keeping. Maybe you can share other years efforts with us fans?? That would be so enjoyable.
Sometimes the most wonderful pictures can be taken when the model is off-pose!!
I think, with the progress being made when it comes to Smartphone Cameras, "we ain't seen nothing yet!!!"
Wonderful capture. Well done!!!
No Pete! Not scary. Just progress.
Who was it? I think Ansel Adams (?) who once wrote, "A good photographer will get great pictures with a Pin Hole Camera!"
Maybe that really says, So much for expensive equipment! Is it really the Brush that paints the masterpiece, or is it the Brush in the hands of the Master that paints the masterpiece??
It is probably really the same for the Camera equipment used.
From what I can determine the interest in the Smart Phone as a Camera is affecting the sales of the Point and Shoot style of camera. Perhaps the lower end Bridge Cameras as well. A true dedicated Photo Hobbyist and the Professional, and semi-professional, Photographer will always continue to use the dedicated higher end Digital Cameras, mirrorless or otherwise.
By the way, there is a fine section on this site dedicated to Smart Phone photography.
Get it. Use it. Have Fun with it. I bet you will love it!!
Enjoy it in good health!!!
Nice!! My 14 arrives tomorrow!
